“Your Largest Investment In both new and older homes, the best way to ensure that you are well
informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have us give you a professional home inspection. We help you
answer how serious the problems are and which must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about the
home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. We are committed to providing Outstanding Customer Service and Satisfaction Your understanding of the inspection findings is critical to our goal of providing the best customer service available. You are encouraged to accompany the inspector through the inspection process to receive a complete consultation and valuable orientation to the property and its systems. What is Included in the Inspection? We provide buyers, sellers, and property owners with important information essential to evaluating a property’s condition. Through inspection, consultation & detailed reporting we review: EXTERIOR: grading, walls, coverings, patios & decks, patio covers, sidewalks & driveways, soffits & fascias, doors/windows & trim, gutters & downspouts, retaining walls, fences & gates. STRUCTURE: foundation, crawlspace, footings & columns, floors, walls, chimneys. ROOFING: structure, coverings, flashings, skylights, vent/stacks. ELECTRICAL: service entrance, grounding, panel & sub panels, branch circuits, outlets, GFCIs, circuit integrity. HEATING and A/C: description, combustion system, A/C components, supply & discharge lines, venting, ductwork & registers, controls & thermostats. PLUMBING: main supply line, distribution lines, fixtures, vents & traps & drains, functional flow. INSULATION: attic, walls, crawlspace, floors, lines, ductwork, air & vapor barriers. INTERIOR: walls, ceilings, windows, floors, doors, stairs, fireplaces, smoke detectors. How Long Will it Take? In most cases, the average inspection takes 3-4 hours depending on the size, condition and age of the property. The Report: Upon completion, you will receive a formal inspection report (see sample below) detailing the condition of each item inspected. Digital photos of areas of concern are included in the report. The report consists of approximately 25-30 pages and can be sent by e-mail. |
